Company context
Jersey Mike’s is a brand that believes in the value of the highest-quality ingredients, the virtue of intention, and the idea that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same. We believe that a Sub Above is one that’s measured in more than inches or seconds ‘til served. We carefully consider every aspect of what we do – every slice, every sandwich, every store. We proof, score, and bake our bread fresh every morning. We hand cut fresh vegetables daily in every store. We slice deli meats and premium cheeses fresh to order. We finish subs with our classic “Mike’s Way” preparation: fresh onions, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, a sprinkling of the Juice – our signature blend of red wine vinegar and oil – and the perfect amount of seasoning. And then there’s the aroma and crackling of sizzling meats on our flattop grills, heating up the love for Jersey Mike’s. Our delicious hot subs are made with fresh-grilled steak and chicken as well as freshly cooked bacon.

On September 16, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), affiliates of certain investment funds associated with or designated by Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) that are the current majority owners of Jersey Mike’s Subs Inc. (the “Company”), informed the Company as follows:
“As of the Closing Date, affiliates of Blackstone (the “Borrowers”) have entered into under one or more margin loan agreements, each dated as of the Closing Date, with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), which, together with existing margin loan agreements, provide for aggregate borrowings of approximately $1.09 billion (collectively, the “Loan Agreements”). Pursuant to one or more pledge and security agreements (collectively, the “Pledge Agreements” and, together with the Loan Agreements, the “Loan Documents”), to secure borrowings under the Loan Agreements, the Borrowers have collectively pledged 127,631,450 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Class A Pledged Shares”), 44,990,370 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Class B Pledged Shares” and, together with the Class A Pledged Shares, the “Pledged Shares”) and 44,990,370 common units (the “Common Units”) of Jersey Mike’s HoldCo, LLC (the “Pledged Units” and together with the Pledged Shares, the “Pledged Collateral”). As of the Closing Date, the Pledged Collateral represented approximately 54.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock, assuming the exchange of all outstanding Common Units (other than those held directly or indirectly by the Company), together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock, for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one for one basis.
The Loan Agreements contain customary default provisions. In the event of a default under the Loan Agreements by the Borrowers, the Secured Parties (as defined in the Loan Agreements) may foreclose upon any and all Pledged Shares and the Pledged Units.”
The Company did not independently verify or participate in the preparation of the foregoing disclosure. In addition, the Company is not a party to the Loan Documents and has no obligations thereunder, but has delivered letter agreements to each of the Lenders and the lenders party to existing margin loan agreements (the “Existing Lenders”) in which it has, among other things, agreed, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules, not to take any actions that are intended to materially hinder or delay the exercise of any remedies by the Lenders and the Existing Lenders under the Pledge Agreements.
